Get an AI Boot Image

A complete Virtual Machine will be created using the settings specified in the
Virtual Machine manifest, vmc_image.xml. The Virtual Machine manifest is an XML file located
at /usr/share/distro_const/vmc/vmc_image.xml. The vmc_image.xml file points to a default set of finalizer scripts
that are used to implement the final media-specific settings for the Virtual Machine.
In addition, an automated installer (AI) boot image is used to create the
Virtual Machine.

You must provide the AI boot image. Then, you must modify the
Virtual Machine manifest to point to this image.

Download an AI image and reference that image in the Virtual Machine manifest
as follows.

Note - You can create a custom AI image by using the distribution constructor. However,
it's not necessary to create a custom image.

This field above references the prepare_ai_image finalizer script. This script finds and prepares
the specified boot image for installation into the Virtual Machine and provides an
option to specify a custom AI client manifest.

The following line from this script provides a default path to an
AI image, using a placeholder, name_of_bootable_ai_image, in place of an actual filename.

"/export/home/name_of_bootable_ai_image"

Change this line to point to the location on your local system,
using your filename, for the AI image that you downloaded in the prior
step. For example,

"/export/home/myimage.iso"

Note - The file location is provided within quotes. Do not remove the quotes. The
quotes are used to delineate each argument in the field.

You have the option to further modify this prepare_ai_image field to point
to a custom AI client manifest as described in the next section.
